View original postI used to re-read the whole series every time a new book came out, but have not since KOD was released. I struggled to get through the BSand books so I'm also dreading getting to the end of Jordan's work.

Yeah, I didn't read the BS books when they came out. I bought them and held off reading them until AMoL was released. I did a complete reread at that point and when I got the his books it became really difficult to continue reading the story. It was almost a physical blow. I read some Mat chapters and I had to put the book down for days because I was so distraught. These were not the same characters! Some were not even close! Did his wife not even read these books! How could she have let this happen! I'm ranting on, I'm sorry. I was just very disappointed because I cared so much about these characters.


View original postI started a new sub-thread below with some early observations from this re-read, funny how I am already starting to see things slightly differently than I had in previous re-reads, probably because I'm far enough removed to do so!

I started reading it. I'll continue reading it as I progress through my reread.


View original postReading NS first was interesting this time because there are some interesting omissions from EoTW when you realize how dumb Moiraine seems

Yeah, and there is some cool swordplay in NS when Lan kicks some ass, but I just decided I have read it numerous times and I just wanted to get to Rand and the boys.

I can't say for sure, but I think it might have been a little deliberate or at least subconscious. Cannoli - 05/11/2016 09:03:19 PM 1834 Views
Is there anywhere you (or anyone else here) will be posting about WoT when this site closes? MonCul - 16/11/2016 08:17:04 AM 1493 Views
